One of the biggest scars from last season’s misery came when Seattle Seahawks stars Richard Sherman and Russell Wilson ate turkey legs on the 49ers’ home field, as part of a postgame television show.

“I didn’t remember that until you just brought it up,” 49ers coach Jim Tomsula said Monday at his press conference, in advance of the Seahawks’ return visit this Thursday night to Levi’s Stadium.

“I don’t really pay much attention to the pomp and ‘stance around it – if that’s a word. Here I am making up a word. That’s my Pittsburghese coming out.”

Making up ground in the NFC West is what Tomsula and the 49ers (2-4) need to worry about most as they enter a key stretch of games. Four of their next five games are against division teams, including two against the two-time reigning NFC champion Seahawks, who are also off to a 2-4 start.

“This is a big game. We don’t make any bones about that,” Tomsula added. “Anytime you play Seattle, it’s a big deal.”

The 49ers snapped a four-game losing streak Sunday by defeating the Baltimore Ravens 25-20. The Seahawks lost Sunday to the unbeaten Carolina Panthers 27-23.

Seattle has won four of the past five meetings against the 49ers, including a 19-3 rout last Nov. 27. As that defeat came to a close, 49ers CEO Jed York tweeted an apology to fans. Shortly thereafter, Sherman and Wilson were eating turkey at a table arranged for NBC’s postgame show.

Were 49ers players as enraged by that sight as their fans?

“I don’t pay attention to all that,” wide receiver Quinton Patton said. “It’s just like any other game. I don’t get caught up in all the rivalry and everything.”
